As you may have noticed on our website, we have now have a great number of new certifications for Oracle E-Business Suite R12. From apps DBAs to sys admins to apps consultants, Oracle has invested a tremendous amount of support behind those of you working with this comprehensive suite of integrated, global business applications. If you've been seeing various staggered announcements in your inbox and wish you could just get a birds-eye view, well here it is.
What certifications are available?
To keep it short and simple, here's "the list":
- Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Financials Certified Expert Consultant, Payables (OCE)
- Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Financials Certified Expert Consultant, Receivables (OCE)
- Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Supply Chain Certified Expert Consultant, Purchasing (OCE)
- Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Supply Chain Certified Expert Consultant, Order Management (OCE)
- Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Advanced Supply Chain Planning Certified Expert Consultant (OCE)
- Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Applications Database Administrator Certified Professional (OCP)
- Oracle E-Business Suite R12 System Administrator Certified Expert (OCE)
So there you have it - seven new R12 certifications; all but one are Oracle Certified Expert (OCE) designations, with the exception being the Applications Database Administrator which is an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) designation.

Kudos to the fantastic Oracle Certification Program team for the rich offering of certification exams. The R12 exams do indeed cover a wider horizon as well as provide opportunity for certification with just 1 combo-exam (e.g INV+OM) after the foundation exam, instead of 2 exams earlier. Certification candidates are indeed looking forward to the bonanza offered by extending the R12 beta exam deadline. To encourage candidates worldwide to write the beta exams, the Oracle Certified Professionals blog has announced a R12 beta challenge.
On behalf of all certification candidates worldwide, thanks once again!

Hi,
I already had passed 1z0-204, I have plan to go for Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Supply Chain Certified Expert Consultant, Purchasing (OCE) and Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Supply Chain Certified Expert Consultant, Order Management (OCE).
I want to appear in live exam. Please confirm that beta is closing on 31-Jan-2008 and it will be live from 1-Feb-2008.
Best Regards,
Aslam Khan

Hi Aslam - you are correct that the beta period closes on 31-Jan for the two following exams: "Oracle E-Business Suite R12: Inventory and Purchasing Fundamentals" (1Z0-225) and "Oracle E-Business Suite R12: Inventory and Order Management Fundamentals" (1Z0-226). But the live exams won't be ready until early April, as there is an extensive process we go through using the beta results data to construct the final live exam.
There is some good helpful information here about Oracle beta exams.
Good luck!
